Central Community Chest of Japan (CCCJ), also known as the Red Feather (Akaihane), is one of Japan’s largest nonprofits. Founded in 1947, CCCJ acts as a national coordinating body for local community chests. Today, CCCJ strives to become partner-of-choice for corporations and their employees who are keen in making a difference in their communities. District and branch offices nationwide work closely with local community leaders, governments and NGOs, and have improved the lives of 26 million people, including the elderly, disabled, and children.
